The short version

David Messing is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between Feb 2016 and Sep 2023. Largest by amount reported sold: Commerce Square Sponsor, LLC (San Francisco, CA — commercial — 2020; $8.9M reported sold to 5 investors), Graham Street Sponsor II, LLC (San Francisco, CA — commercial — 2016; $7.75M reported sold to 50 investors), GSR Center Green, LLC (San Francisco, CA — residential — 2023; $6.26M reported sold to 19 investors), GSR 2890 North Main Street, LLC (San Francisco, CA — residential — 2019–2021; $2.44M reported sold to 34 investors), GSR Belvedere, LLC (San Francisco, CA — commercial — 2019; $2.3M reported sold to 97 investors) and 3 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 8 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $31.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kurt E. Houtkooper (10 shared filings), Anthony O. Zanze (9 shared filings), Graham Street Realty II, LLC (9 shared filings, management entity) and Mark R. Hamilton (9 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around David. Each name links to their own page.

All 8 issuers belong to the sponsor group Hamilton Zanze (228 issuers, $2.14B reported sold, 2008–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Hamilton Zanze has 228 companies on file and $2.14B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 2 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
